The capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, makes up over 80% of its landmass.
The population is over 1.6 million. The "Father of the UAE", Shiekh Zayed, was the first ruler of Abu Dhabi. He was only 28 when he assumed the throne, and took the UAE from a fishing town to the tourist destination it is today. On my visit to my neighboring emirate, I stopped by Ferarri World, a theme park with rollercoasters based around a Ferrari theme. I also had lunch at Emirates Palace, an incredible luxury hotel made to look like a royal palace. Finally, I took a walk on the Corniche, or coastline, with its beautiful views, cafes, and canopies.
